As a Company, Root one construction Group have used Advance for a good number of years for our staff training. This has included, excavator training, Dumper training, Forklift training, cscs cards, Health and safety. I personally along with my staff have always enjoyed the courses, teaching and subsequent award of certification from Advance. Staff within the building are always eager to help, answer questions and generally make sure that what you require is correct for the work that we carry out. We have never been let down by the staff at Advance Training, always been squeezed into a class at short notice if it could be done, always had certification delivered on time to the office that it was meant to be delivered to and generally been able to call reception / Admin anytime and chat over what was required within our company, if they could help they certainly did, always with a genuine willingness to help, always delivered with a cheerful voice and a friendly manner. For us we go nowhere else unless it is for something that Advance do not do. Best Regards Ronnie Blair Projects Contracts Manager Root One Group.
